Reports were made that disscusions between Ryan Madson and the Phillies were heating up and that it was possible that a deal could be agreed upon very soon.
Salisbury reports that the club is negotiating with Papelbon, Boston's closer for six seasons, along with Madson. He also reports that a deal could be made with one of the two closers very soon (possibly within the next few days).

Salisbury is also reporting that free agent Michael Cuddyer was in Philadelphia on Tuesday for a recruiting visit with the Phillies.
Cuddyer is a good right-handed bat, who can play at multiple positions (like I've said so many times before). He is very close with Jim Thome (recently signed by the Phillies), after their time as teammates in Minnesota, and he would be a very good fit for the team (again, like I've said so many times before).Sources confirmed to Salisbury that the Phillies are "eager to sign him," but it is unknown if Cuddyer was presented an offer.
